Indialantic FL UFO MUFON Case 87314

Here's something that doesn't seem like it's ever been discussed on these forum boards:

I came across some of this footage elsewhere and was surprised to have to dig through MUFON and youtube a little bit to locate either the original
uploader, or at least an official case file (the original footage i saw didn't have the case file you see in the video above).

If anybody's curious, here's the search result for Case 87314 on MUFON:

I find this submission to be pretty interesting for a few reasons:

- This incident took place in '94, and has only recently been submitted to MUFON in October of this year. How has this been able to survive since
'94 without ever seeing the light of day until October 2017?

- The person submitting this info to MUFON truly doesn't seem to be the one who shot the footage, and I would bet that this video just sort of fell
into their lap as well. That bit about these lights being the "same configuration we've been seeing for the past hundred thousand years" is pretty
revealing, as it clearly shows the poster's motivations and convictions. The poster wants you to believe he/she shot the footage, but why not come
out with this footage earlier than 2017 if your dedication for disclosure seems so strong?

- My first thought was "might be oil rigs in the distance," but they really don't resemble oil rigs much at all:

- They also don't resemble "helicopter flares by the Air Force," as the MUFON case report is also heavily skeptical of.

I don't have any resources to dig into Florida Today articles from the mid 90's, which is a shame since I feel like it could provide some more
clarity to this event. If it really is true that the Air Force reported these exercises were done by "a squadron that no longer exists," there'd be
way more reason to keep digging on this one. If anyone knows of a way to do that, I'm all ears!

As this video was only released on youtube this month, I can't help but feel like this is all way too good of an opportunity to ride this wave of
"disclosure" we've been experiencing. What do you think?

Interesting! Thanks for posting this. You're right: the "going back hundreds of thousands of years" seems strange, as if the person has a grudge or
a bigger motive. I'll look forward to seeing what the good members of ATS dig up on this one!

ETA: thanks for adding the pictures of the oil rigs! That was super helpful. I agree, the things in this video don't seem to be oil rigs.

Balloons with millions of candle power lights on them? Where Can I buy those? Answer: You can't. The lights could be something mundane, but balloons
with lights that bright on them is about as ridiculous as you being from Zeta Reticulous.

Thing is, if it was anything out of the ordinary, Patricks Air Force Base is right down the street and they would have scrambled jets in no time
flat....so, given no jets flying to investigate, I am suspicious of anything other than the official story.

respectfully, it doesn't seem like you read through all of the information in my OP. this was addressed. you can of course deny the validity of the
information to your heart's content, but the question of "where was the air force in all this?" was addressed.

Look at the date the report and video was submitted....
10/13/17
CGI anyone ?
Absolutely .

i too share your skepticism due to the timeline, but i think it's too much of a logical jump to conclude that it's CGI only by way of us seeing this
footage now. that's a bit unreasonable. what else are you basing that on?

I suppose you don't get to pick the color of your ufo sighting, but anyone who has one that has the color of halogen headlamps and/or gas lights off
platforms has a steeper hill to climb.

I'm not all that geeked by the video, but, you know, anyone who's ever shot video of something far away knows just how damn poor the quality of
ANYTHING is when filmed from far away. I SUPPOSE it's possible that these guys were able to make out much more of those "lights" and had more
legitimate reasons to think "UFO" (I'm being extremely charitable here), so there's that.

I've never seen a ufo, despite many a lonely drive in the west. But, I've always recognized that even if I did see one, even if I did have my phone or
even a decent camera, the truth of the matter is that I could see something that I'd be 100% convinced was a physics-defying craft up above me, and
when I got the video to y'all, it'd be Chinese lanterns, a highway far away, airplanes flying in formation, whatever.
